She's been gone away too long
In fact eight weeks tonight
Don't you think I've got a right to cry

She just walked right out the door
She didn't say good-bye
Oh don't you think I got a right to cry

Loving her gives me the right to miss her
Like I do
And it gives me the right to be
As blue as I want to

I don't want too much of this
My heart is about to die
Oh don't you think I've go a right to cry

She walked off and left me
With a great big bunch of hurt
And don't you know she walked on me
Like I was so much dirt

What a lousy way to thank me
After how I tried
Oh don't you think I got a right to cry
